This is the perfect good for you dessert when you have a chocolate craving. It’s full of healthy fat from the avocado with the rich flavor of chocolate from the cocoa powder. It’s creamy and sweet and will satisfy your sweet tooth without all the sugar and bad fat that come along with a bowl of ice cream.
Chocolate Avocado Mousse is super simple to make, only requires 5 ingredients and you can be eating it in minutes. Throw avocado, cocoa powder, coconut milk, honey, and vanilla extract in a blender or food processor and you have a chocolatey dessert just like that. I topped mine with crushed cashews but top with fresh fruit or your favorite nuts.
5-ingredient Chocolate Avocado No Bake Dessert packed with the chocolatey flavor we all love. Creamy, naturally sweet, full of nutrients and so perfect for a healthy dessert. I served mine in these cute jars. One, because these jars make for a great presentation (and I am a firm believer that we eat with our eyes first) and two they make for easy storage in the refrigerator and will stay good for 2 to 3 days.
